		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Shortly before 8:30am EST, we got some very sad news. Auntie Barbi called Meowmy to tell her that our dear furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366026&j=t">Cocoa</b></a> had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He will always be a special part of our furmily and always in our hearts. He left some big pawprints in each of our hearts. We are all still in shock. Please remember Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob and all the sad siblings that Cocoa has left behind to mourn and miss him. Cocoa was and is very special to my meowmy... she always loved to hear his cute little meows (sometimes very loud) as he chatted when Auntie Barbi and Meowmy were on the phone chatting. Rest in Peace, dear and special furiend. You will never be far from our hearts. We LOVE you, Cocoa.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, as you know, was my 12th birthday and it was, also, my meowmy's birthday. I think she has to be at least 100 or more. *looks to see if Meowmy is reading this*

Meowmy did me a favor by NOT making me wear a hat or collar or torturing me like that. I get furry scared when I am dressed. Meowmy gave me extra lovies and then she went out with her high school forever friend for lunch and shopping and she said "Just Girl" time. Meowmy came home in the late afternoon. Meowmy and Patchez had received a BIG package from Auntie Terry and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=648256&j=t">Poo</b></a> so they opened the package and then their pawresents and were so surprised with their gifties but I will let Patchez tell you about that.   

My dear furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366026&j=t">Cocoa</b></a> and his special furmily sent me a birthday hat. They said, "Dear Cassidy~ We are so excited to be celebrating your 12th Birthday today... May your day be as special and as beautiful as you are. Love~ Cocoa & Co. xoxo"  

Sweet <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=440786&j=t">Tessa</b></a> and her lovely furmily sent me a most yummy shrimp. They said, "Happy Birthday, Cassidy! We hope you have a pawsome day celebrating and get lots and lots of treats!"  

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=887499&j=t">Cannoli</b></a>, his meowmy Auntie Barbi and the fur furmily sent my meowmy a beautifur heart for her birthday. They said, "Dear Jo~ We wanted to stop by to wish you a beautiful Birthday today and may your celebration be filled with lots of love. Thanks for always being such a wonderful friend. Love~ Barbi & Family xoxo"  My meowmy thanks all of you for the birthday love and your special furiendship with her.

A very special Angel named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=947825&j=t">Queen Tallulah</b></a> and her sweet furmily sent me a birthday heart. They said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET CASSIDY! we hope you will have a pawtastic day and will get lots of extra love and hugs..."  Queen Tallulah fought a brave and valiant battle with breast cancer. Unfortunately, she lost the battle. She touched so many hearts and has helped to make us aware that this exists, even in the kitty world. QT, your battle was not in vain nor forgotten. We love you.

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1020904&j=t">DA TABBIES O TROUT TOWNE</b></a> sent me a delicious shrimp. They said, "a most happee burd day two ewe cassie N herez ta a bazillion mor !! best fishes fora grate day, we hope ya haz fun and get ta eat lotz oh cake..maybe even sum trout !! peace out N rock on frum all oh us !

The sweetest Angel named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=448437&j=t">Mr. Sam</b></a> sent me a lovely Adopt A Pet Ribbon. He said, "Happy Meowday lovely lady Cassidy!!!!" Thank goodness my meowmy did find me and adopted me 11 years ago. I was taken from that small and confining cage in PetSmart. While I had been saved by my foster meowmy Karen, I was lonely. My whole furmily had found homes. I was scared and did not understand why no one wanted me. My meowmy told me it was because I was such a special kitty and God had special plans for my meowmy to find me and give me a loving and forever home. It was a long time before that happened but I am so glad that my meowmy did find me and that I stole her heart.

Sweet <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366645&j=t">Teebo</b></a> and his wonderpurr furmily sent me a birthday hat. They said, "Happy Happy Birthday to you and your Mom! We hope you both get to party!! Purrs, Teebo, Callie and Rose" 

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=750290&j=t">Kibbles</b></a> and his wonderpurr furmily sent me a yummy shrimp. They said, "Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Dear Cassidy! Happy Birthday to you! Have a great party day! Enjoy! Love, Kibbles, Francis, & Yoda"  

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=620552&j=t">Zeeke</b></a> and his very sweet furmily sent me a lovely Adopt A Pet Ribbon. They said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! LOVES, ZEEKE & THE CREW"  Zeeke and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=620572&j=t">Romeo</b></a> were selected as Dreamboats (#40a and #40c) and I agree!

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1072617&j=t">Big Harry</b></a> and his lovely furmily sent me a purrty birthday heart. They said, "Happy Purrday, Cassidy!"

My dear furiends Angel <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=692014&j=t">Wanda</b></a> and her pawsome furmily sent me the cutest mouse for my birthday. They said, "Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day. Hope everyone is well in your house, we miss reading your diaries, well we just miss you guys period. Love ya always, Wanda, Norman and family"

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=681711&j=t">Vincent</b></a> and his sweet furmily sent me a forever crown. That made me feel special. They said, "happy birthday and many happy returns!" We think of Vincent who went missing in early 2010 and pray that he found a forever and loving home. We know his furmily misses him and would love for him to return home with some very special tales of adventures while he was missing.

Sweet Angel <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=169281&j=t">Navin R. Johnson-Davis</b></a> sent me a beautifur rainbow rosette. He said, "Happy Birthday dear Cassidy! I hope you had a lovely filled w/ cuddle time with Kujo & some yummy food! All my love, Navin R. Johnson-Davis" You really know me, Navin. I spend so many hours cuddled safely with my bestie, my sisfur and my mom substitute Kujo. I was extremely attached to my birth mom and was traumatized when she found a forever home and had to leave me alone. I could not figure out why no one wanted me. All my siblings were adopted and then my mom and I had no one. When my meowmy finally found me and adopted me, I immediately bonded with Kujo and followed her around. We are inseparable now.

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=72205&j=t">Eve Layla</b></a> and her pawsome furmily sent me a birthday heart. They said, "HAPPY 12TH MEOWDAY CASSIDY! WE Hope Our FURRY SWEET & FURRY BEAUTIFUL FURIEND has A PAWSOME DAY! A HEART Because ................... WE LOVE YOU SO FURRY MUCH! Purrs & MUCH LOVE, "THE GANG OF FURS"  Not only did they send me this beautifur heart but they pmailed me and sang the Happy Birthday song to me in PURRfect pitch. 

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1051661&j=t">River</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1051660&j=t">Simone</b></a> sent me a fleur-di-lis. They said, "Happy Birthday Cassidy! HOORAY and HAPPY RIVER DANCES! We hope your special day is full of nom noms and belly rubs! Lots of Love, River and Simone"  Meowmy says that River Dances are really great!

Sweet <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=634638&j=t">Bitu</b></a> sent me a four leaf clover. She said, "Happy Birthday!"

Thank you so much for helping to make my 12th birthday extra special and remembering me in such sweet ways.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday was a very sad day, indeed, for my furmily and me and for so many Catster furiends. We were shocked and saddened to learn that our beloved furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=64639&j=t">Hazel Lucy</b></a> was to go to Heaven at 12:30 PM EST. Our meowmy had come home from getting her hair cut about 11:30 and turned on the catputer to see what was happening. She went to FB first and saw the posting about Hazel Lucy. The next hour we all spent our time crying and praying for Hazel Lucy and her wonderful meowmy Julie. 

Hazel Lucy and her meowmy were and are such beautiful and caring souls who started the wonderful Purr Threads on Catster. Hazel Lucy touched all of our hearts in such a special way and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts and in the hearts of so many others. True love never dies and we do truly love Hazel Lucy and thank her for being a most special part of our lives. 

Please keep Hazel Lucy and her meowmy Julie in your purrs and prayers during this sad and difficult time. We know that it is never easy to say our earthly goodbyes. We know that our lives will be reunited again one day and that, while absent from the earth, they are always present in our hearts.

We wanted to write yesterday but our meowmy just could not gather herself to help us. Hazel Lucy and Julie hold a very special place in our hearts and we found ourselves too devastated to write. 

We still find ourselves shocked and deeply saddened but we know that Hazel Lucy is free of her earthly pain and is healthy again and is now happily reunited with her beloved furhusband <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=63740&j=t">Buddie</b></a>. What a special reunion that was. 

Hazel Lucy, we will forever love you and are so blessed to call you our furiend. Our meowmy is blessed, also, to call your meowmy a special friend. You are both dearly loved.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my kitty cats! I can't believe that it has been eight months since my meowmy has allowed me to paw in my diary. None of us have been pawing much but eight months is way too long. We have had lots going on in our furmily with different sickly kitties and issues and my human grandmother has had lots of problems with her health and my pawrents have had furry full plates. Another reason we have not written in our diaries is the changes in Catster. For us, it is so slow that Meowmy has not found the time to work with us on our diaries. Many of our furiends were put in the kennel for their comments and we did not care for the punishment that our furiends received. We love our furiends and it made us furry sad that they were being punished.

Now, let me tell you about my weekend. It started Friday night when Meowmy fed us. I was not interested in food. Unless I am sick, this never happens. Meowmy tried to coerce me into food but I had nothing to do with food. I was meowing a good deal, however, and Meowmy could not figure out why.

Saturday morning, I could not be found. I did not come out nor did I make a sound. Meowmy got the flashlight and went on a Cassidy hunt. She found me hiding under the catputer cabinet. When she shined the light on me, I did begin to meow loudly. Meowmy went straight to the telephone and called my doc doc. They said bring me in. Saturday is their half day so we hurried. 

My regular doc doc was not in so I saw Dr. Elliott. He examined me and they stuck the thermometer you-know-where. I did not like that at all. They found my temperature to be 103.7. Dr. Elliott looked in my mouth and said that my teeth were bad but should not be causing my issues but he did tell Meowmy that we need to address my teeth in the near future. He decided to just try giving me a Sub Q, shot of Convenia and Orbax to take at home. He told Meowmy to put me in a room by myself so she could keep check on my intake and output and to be sure that I was not throwing up. He told Meowmy to take me to the emergency hospital if I had any problems on the weekend... otherwise, I was to return on Monday morning for recheck. 

I did not eat much during the rest of the weekend but did eat some Hills A/D that Meowmy keeps on hand for Hooch. I seemed to like it better than the other things Meowmy was offering. Monday morning, I was taken in the prison carrier - against my will - back to the doc doc. I saw a substitute vet because my doc doc has taken her birthday week off. They stuck that thermometer you-know-where again. I did meow when they did it. They found, to their surprise, my temperature had risen to 104.2. Dr. Tabony was a little surprise by the temperature rise since I was on antibiotics. She felt my abdomen to see if I was possibly constipated. She felt a little firmness but nothing to say constipation. Dr. Tabony decided that maybe an enema could help... definitely would not hurt. So, she laid me down on my right side and lifted my tail to look around and that was when she saw it. I had an abscess at the left base of my tail... a big one... from bite wounds. (Meowmy suspects that my sisfur Kujo could be the offender but is not sure.)

Dr. Tabony said that it had to be drained. So, my meowmy left me there to let the doc doc torture me. They opened and drained my abscess, gave me a Sub Q, a Rimadyl injection for pain, a Buprenorphine injection and 6 Buprenorphine oral syringes to take at home. I had to stay at that hospital until 2:30ish. 

To Meowmy's surprise, when she picked me up, I was wearing the Elizabethan collar. I have to wear it for a minumum of 5 days and the doc doc prefers that I wear it until my recheck in 10 days. I am confined to the upstairs bathroom for several reasons, one of which is the drainage. Meowmy is having to wash the floor alot with clorox wipes. She says it is unreal what is still draining and it could continue for 3 or so days. I have to use pelleted or shredded paper litter but I like my regular litter. My doc doc says there is too much of a chance of infection, if we use it. So, I am stuck with the "new" litter for the time being. I think I am being tortured by my meowmy.

So my new world for the next week or 10 days is going to be a scary one for me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, my meowmy had made plans with her special and longtime furiend. You see, Meowmy's furiend Daryle is one of the people she admires the most of anyone we know. Daryle was born with a condition of her eyes called Aniridia. Daryle's eyes were so bad that she was deemed legally blind with only some vision. As time went on, she lost more of her vision and had to go through several cornea transplants and even cataract surgery for the clouded lens. Daryle did NOT allow this to dampen her spirits. She was determined as she went through all of the surgeries to get her Master's Degree and took public transportation to UNC-Charlotte where she achieved this honor. Daryle became a counselor at a large local church and has become an inspiration to many. My meowmy is furry proud to be one of Daryle's furiends and they have had great fun with each other over the years. They (just Meowmy and Daryle) even took Daryle's two human children and three of my human siblings to Florida for almost a week on a furry limited budget. They saved so much money at Disney that they managed to squeeze two more nights in Daytona Beach. What a trip! Now, let me tell you that my meowmy and Daryle know how to squeeze blood out of a turnip when needed. Daryle has never given up and continues to wear her rose-colored glasses (Daryle's description of her view of life). Sadly, Daryle's vision is almost totally gone now and she basically sees only shades of greys. Meowmy says she doesn't know many people who would take the lemons that Daryle has been given and who could make such sweet lemonade. Daryle may have been given a little hope recently for some more vision with a doctor she found in Ohio who does artificial corneas. Daryle has had the limit of cornea transplants and has such scarring that nothing else can help her. My meowmy prays that this doctor can help her precious furiend.

Happy Earth Day to all my furiends.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can you believe that it has taken my meowmy THIS long to help me paw in my diary about my DDP honor on Saturday? Well, you see, my pawrents were expecting Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob to come by on their way back home from Florida where they were vacationing. They were spending the night with us. So, as most of you know, my pawrents had Wednesday and Thursday (14th and 15th) all tied up with workmen all day for both days as the men were installing the new furnaces and air conditioners. Meowmy got NOTHING done those days and it was a mess. So, Meowmy finished up her painting and moving the furniture back where it goes on Friday. When Saturday arrived and I found out I was a DDP honoree, I was furry excited BUT Meowmy told me that she could not help me paw about it because she had to clean up the house from the week of MESS. 

Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob arrived about 6 PM. My pawrents were happy to see them. They sat around and had a glass of wine and snacks and chatted. Auntie Barbi and my meowmy exchanged gifts and we got to open them. Auntie Barbi brought us a cool kitty tunnel, two fun balls that Karisma confiscated and held hostage and a nice mousie. We were excited. Meowmy got a really nice Micky Mouse and characters afghan, a lovely towel for the kitchen with Minnie Mouse on it and a really cute pink Disney fanny pack. Meowmy loves fanny packs. My dad got a cute Disney keychain. 

I managed to come out so that Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob could see me. Often when we have company, I will stay hidden. This time I was a furry brave girl! Yay.

My meowmy had not been able to sleep on Friday night. She said she watched the clock until at least 4 AM. She got up about 7:30 AM. Then, Auntie Barbi and Meowmy stayed up until after 2 AM on Saturday night chatting and having fun. Meowmy did not get up until she was called about 7:45 AM. Meowmy got in bed at 3 AM because she took her nightly bath before going to bed. My pawrents and Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob went to breakfast after Meowmy arose and got dressed and then Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob headed straight out for NJ and my pawrents came home. My meowmy was developing a headache so she told me she could not help me with my diary yesterday. I understood because Meowmy and headaches don't go well together.

My pawrents had to arise early this morning to go be with my human brofur Jim who was having some major dental surgery and they had to be there around 8. They did not get home until a little while ago. Jim did very well in his surgery. We think the illness he had (fungus in lungs and bones) and medicines he has taken for it has taken a toll on his teeth. So, my pawrents spent most of the day with him. He was "coming around" so they headed home.

On the 17th, when I received my DDP honor, I got many nice gifties and concats. I am so thankfur for my sweet furiends who help me celebrate honors and events. 

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=72195&j=t">Adam Dylan</b></a> and his precious furmily sent me a fun kite.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh WOW! I woke up to find that I am a DDP again today. Thank you, thank you Catster HQ and Diary Gal. I am really excited. I can't paw in my diary much now because my pawrents are getting ready for a visit from Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob later on today. Meowmy says that, if she gets ready in time, she will allow me to paw more in my diary today. 

I want to CONCATULATE <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=947825&j=t">Queen Tallulah</b></a> on her DOTD honor.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night after I signed off my diary, Angel <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=826092&j=t">Morris</b></a> and his sweet furmily sent me a fun kite. They said, "Sorry we missed it but we wanted to say congrats on being dairy pick!" It made me happy to receive more DDP concats.

This morning, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=472484&j=t">Lily</b></a> and her lovely furmily sent my furmily and me a fun brusselball. They said, "Concats on being the DDP!! Plus, you look like me (I had a similar start and have a similar purrsonality too)!! Purrs, Lily & furmily"

My other news is that my dad did get the "mud" on the walls finally yesterday. He has to do another check today and then sand the walls and THEN in the kitchen and living room he must put some caulking around the window and door areas where there has been some separation from the wall in the settling. In the kitchen, he must put the paintable caulking around the new granite countertop because our walls are not PURRfect like we are. MOL. Meowmy says that while he is "s-l-o-w", he is getting there finally.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday on my DDP honor day, Meowmy was miffed with my dad because he was puttering around outside rather than getting the settling cracks in our living room repaired so Meowmy can get on with her painting the room. We were expecting T-storms later in the day and he deemed the outside more important. This was a big error in judgement on his part, according to my meowmy. 

Today, you should see Meowmy's pouty face! You see, my dad still has NOT repaired the cracks in the walls in the living room. Yesterday he made the choice to go outside to putter around before the rain arrived. Late in the afternoon, he decided to come in and he did finally dig out around the cracks and hammered the nails back in that were trying to pop out BUT he did NOT get around to using the sheet rock tape and "mud" as he calls it. Meowmy knows that this means it will be tomorrow at best before she can even think about painting the walls in the living room and that is IF the "mud" has dried and they sand it smooth. You could put your dinner plate on Meowmy's pouty lips today. Not a good thing. I think my dad is in the dog house and he is TOO BIG to fit into the large igloos outside. He is in BIG trouble! Meowmy says he could be the President of the Procrastinator's Club but he puts off going to the meetings. It is going to be a furry interesting day, indeed.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want to wish ALL of my precious furiends a very Happy Easter! We had a lot of people over today and all of us kitties were locked away for our own safety. We weren't happy about it but Meowmy said it must be that way. 

I want to let effuryone know that our Meowmy and Dad said we must tell all of you what good kitties we have been. You see.. on March 20th both of my pawrents got really sick. My meowmy did not get out of bed for two days except to go to see someone called John. My dad was the same. At first, they thought they had gotten food poisoning but they talked to Grandma and Aunt Barbara who had eaten the very same thing as my pawrents when they went out to eat on Saturday evening and neither one of them was sick. My pawrents both were hit with the problem about 3 AM. After finding out that they were the only ones affected, they decided that it was probably a virus. During the time that my pawrents were seriously affected, we were PURRfect angels. Normally, we do squabble daily and we are most demanding at food time. Not one of us did anything during the time our pawrents were so sick. My dad said that you never knew cats were in the house. My meowmy says she is so thankful that we were such good and caring furbabies. 

Meowmy only ate crackers, toast, applesauce, jello and bananas and drank Pepsi or Coke when she finally ate on the third day. Those items were her only source of food until Friday (April 2nd). She just could not be around food. Meowmy says it is a lousy way to diet for sure. My dad started eating much sooner than that. My meowmy has a sluggish gallbladder that in past years has bothered her but it has been 4 or 5 years since her last spell... the sickness seemed to have triggered a really bad attack with her gallbladder on Monday the 29th. She was ready to go to the hospital one night this past week. Then, on Friday, things began to ease a little for her. We had planned this Easter gathering for a while now and Meowmy was determined not to let this spoil things. Dad was ready to call it off. Today turned out to be very special and the food was delicious and Meowmy ate. The only down side is that our air conditioner unit downstairs is NOT working and it is to be in or near the 90's. Not good timing weatherwise for a nonworking air conditioner. 

Meowmy says she is happy to have things getting back to normal. She said she feels like she let our 90 year old furiend down as he has had to do most of the feeding of his cats since Meowmy got sick. She needs to help him with the litterbox duty and take Tiger in for bloodwork to see what his BUN and creatinine are doing. Tiger is 14 years old. If any of you who have had renal issues have any advice for Meowmy in helping with Tiger, please pmail her. Crawford loves Tiger and Tiger loves Crawford. Crawford is going blind and has a bad back. Even his surgery to cement his spine has not relieved all of his pain.

Prince was in the hospital for 3 days and 2 nights this week with a big hairball. Dr. Booker was able to break it up and move it out of his tummy. Then, I had to see Ene Ma again... so, now the plan for almost all of us is to get Laxatone twice weekly and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin when Meowmy can sneak it in on us. And, to make matters worse, our doc doc broke her ankle. So, it was a sickly week for our home and for our doc doc. But I did get all good news on my tests. I am not showing Inflammatory Bowel Disease nor is my pancreas showing any problems. This was good news that we received on both Thursday and Friday this week. We know there is a new dawning now... Easter has come! We are so thankful for the love we have been shown that was "written in red".]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Arrkkkkk... Meowmy just finished helping me write my diary and suddenly it disappeared. We don't know what happened. 

My doc doc called my meowmy early this morning to check on me and to give an update on Prince. Meowmy told her that I had thrown up last night and this morning. I have been trying to decorate the carpet with my designs. Meowmy says we could have permanently stained carpet. 

I had lost 2 tenths of a pound since yesterday. I was 9.2 pounds today. Lots of throwing up? Dr. Booker wants to run a special test to see if I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease. When I was sick last month, a lot of tests were run on me and all were negative so this is another one. Dr. Booker says it is way too soon for me to be having more pooping issues. Unfortunately, I could not have the test run today because I had eaten about a tablespoon of soft food this morning and this test must be done when fasting or it could give false results. So, Dr. Booker gave me a shot of Cerenia for the vomiting and Sub Q fluids to replenish what I have lost since yesterday... and to add electrolytes. I am to go back to the doc doc's early in the morning for my test.

I feel furry special because Dr. Booker came in for Prince and me. Remember that poor Dr. Booker broke her ankle and is supposed to stay off it. She really loves us. She left when Meowmy and I left this morning and is coming back in the morning to see Prince and me. Isn't that nice? We are so lucky to have such a committed doc doc.

I can't have anything to eat tonight. I will probably not like that at all but Meowmy will just put me in a room while my siblings eat. That is cruel... but Meowmy tells me it is a must.

Meowmy went to visit Prince this afternoon. He was furry glad to see Meowmy. He had been throwing up Leslie told Meowmy. And Meowmy says he smells just like POO. We don't care as long as he gets better. Dr. Booker told Meowmy that the hairball seems to be moving some but it must get out of the tummy and then he can come home. They are measuring effurything going in and coming out of him. Meowmy took a few pictures of him today.

Prince has a special neighbor in the hospital. It is an 18 year old orange kitty who disappeared some time ago (Meowmy forgot how long ago) and was just found. The owners brought him in to Dr. Booker's for a total health evaluation after his ordeal away from home. Isn't it special that he was found? We are hoping that nothing bad happened to him during his adventure. Meowmy will try to find out how long he was missing tomorrow. Meowmy says he is a furry handsome boy.

Lastly, my middle human brofur is sick. He came home from work with a high fever (104.5) today and began hallucinating. His wife called the paramedics and he is on the way to the hospital for evaluation as we speak. He is almost never sick... but he has been known to hallucinate with a high fever in the past. He is also prone to strep infections and tends to run high fevers with those. This is the first time his wife has experienced one of his episodes. My dad has gone to the hospital but Meowmy is staying home with us since I am sick and Mojo threw up a nasty hairball just before my dad left. The hospital is only 5 minutes from our house so Meowmy can be there in short order if need be. Today has not been one of Meowmy's better days. She has a sluggish gallbladder and most days it is okay. Today is NOT one of those days. Add a headache to that... well, does anyone out there know where 12 kitties and Meowmy can get a room together in a care facility? Meowmy joked with Dr. Booker about the two of them getting a hospital room earlier today. Dr. Booker told her that they could read in bed. MOL.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You WON'T believe who I had to visit today! I was taken to see Ene Ma! It was most definitely against my will. I still don't like her any better than I did the last time I met her. That was on February 18 of this year. Seems that February 18th is significant in our furmily. That is the date that Hooch was found to be so sick last year (2009). Meowmy says that maybe we should just bypass February next year. What do you think? 

It has been a sickly week for the kitties and the humans in our home. First, on Saturday night (early Sunday morning - March 21), both my pawrents got furry sick. They first thought they had food poisoning but are now leaning toward a nasty virus. Meowmy checked the backside of her eyelids for 2 days straight and hasn't done much since then. In fact, she even missed a few days of helping her 90 year old furiend and his kitties. She feels badly about that because he can't clean the litterbox. Meowmy said he has managed to pour water for the kitties and feed them something.

All of my siblings and I have not eaten furry well this whole week, even ol' Prince. Meowmy says he is the "Mikey" of our furmily. Theory is give it to Prince, he'll eat anything. On Saturday of this week, Prince started throwing up when he ate. He was still showing signs of wanting to eat but would walk away from his bowl before he finished eating and then, about half an hour later, would throw up what he had eaten. Meowmy said it figured as it was the weekend. This went on all day on Saturday and then again Sunday. About noon on Sunday, we think Prince threw up fluid and it was very pink. Meowmy became even more concerned with evidence of blood. She gave him some Pepcid and then decided to NOT feed him last night. He did take exception to that but Meowmy stood her ground. About 6:30 last night, we think Prince threw up more fluid and it was very pink. By now, Meowmy was getting really concerned but knew that Dr. Booker would be in first thing this morning.

When Meowmy called this morning, she got a big shock. Poor Dr. Booker had gone to Asheville, NC to look at possible wedding sites for her daughter who is getting married. Unfortunately, on her way down the gazebo steps, Dr. Booker fell and broke her ankle. Meowmy went on and scheduled a 2 PM appointment to take Prince in for examination. Dr. Booker came back to the office before lunch and called Meowmy so she hurried on over to take Prince. 

The next thing I knew, Meowmy had returned and I was being hauled over to Dr. Booker's to see Ene Ma. Dr. Booker felt my belly and said I was definitely clogged up again. So, Meowmy rudely left me to fend for myself with Ene Ma. I weighed 9.4 pounds before I met Ene Ma. I don't know what I weighed after I left. MOL.

About 3 PM EST, Meowmy called and Dr. Booker told her that I had a successful meeting with Ene Ma and was ready to come home. Prince was not as lucky. Dr. Booker wants him kept to (1) watch the vomiting and (2) to see if he is able to pass the big hairball that we know is in his tummy. He was given two different emetrics with NO results by 3, when I was picked up. Dr. Booker was concerned about the blood and wanted to check on any blood in any vomiting he may do while there in observation.

I was really happy to be home again BUT, soon after we settled in, Meowmy noticed the fresh fluid throw up in the downstairs bathroom on the tile floor. It had blood in it - just like from the day before. Now, Meowmy is thinking I may be the culprit vomiting blood and not Prince. That doesn't take away from his big hairball in his tummy but I may have been the one throwing up that bloody fluid. Meowmy called Dr. Booker immediately after her discovery but Dr. Booker had already headed home for the day. Meowmy will just watch all of us and wait until the morning. Dr. Booker has a sub coming in tomorrow and the rest of the week so she can get better and stay off her broken ankle. She has a cast on it and said she is furry happy that her doctor did not want to do surgery... for now, at least. She goes back in a few weeks and hopes that some good healing has taken place.

In the meantime, for now, Meowmy is going to give each of us a Pepcid (1/4), in hopes of settling the tummy until we can track down who is having the problem. Meowmy is purrty sure that I fit that role to a tee.

If you can spare some extra purrs, both Prince and I could use them tonight. Hooch is still doing remarkably well and we all know the prayers worked for him.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Guess what? I am 11 years old today. Yes, I am! And you know what else? I share this day with my human meowmy. I am really special because none of my other siblings share this special day with our meowmy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I must apologize for few entries of late. Ever since November, Meowmy has had a full plate. *scratches head because the plate is actually empty* There has not been much time for our diaries. She has had little more than time to try to check daily to see if our furiends and loved ones have received honors. Meowmy has been busy with the holidays, at first, then illnesses in the human furmily, and helping care for other people's kitties. What? Pffftttt. Our furiend who is almost 90 has been unable to care for his three kitties and Meowmy has had to go over there daily to feed and water the kitties and change the litter. Our furiend's wife is in a nursing home and he had a bad back. He had pinched nerves from collapsing vertabrae. He had something injected last week to build up the area and lift the pressure and he is walking better but not able to care for his 14 year old cat who is showing signs of early renal problems. He has a cat who is about 7 or 8 who has a heart murmur and a calico who is about 6 years or so. Meowmy says he will soon have to find homes for his babies and it pains her heart. She is afraid that this man's son will take them to the pound and we all know what will happen if that takes place. It gives my meowmy lots of stress and worries.

Meowmy was caring for another three cats while their pawrents were on a 9 day cruise. Meowmy says she doesn't mind.

Tomorrow is my meowmy's birthday. I won't tell you how old she really is but let's say dirt is younger. MOL. Guess what my meowmy got for her birthday? She finally got her new kitchen countertops. She got granite and loves it already... even though the spigot can not be put in until tomorrow. 

Meowmy has been busy stripping wallpaper for a long while now as time allows. Then my dad will patch the cracks from the foundation settling and then Meowmy is painting the walls. This will take months to complete. So, some of this is why Meowmy can't find the time for us to paw our diaries like we would like to do.

Today, Meowmy finally found out why we have NOT gotten Catster notices. It seems that her Catster notices are being bounced by Yahoo. Meowmy got in touch with Yahoo and it was determined that it is a Catster issue. So, Meowmy tried ALL day long to reach HQ and got the message. Late this evening she finally reached a human who told her to contact Catster via email. Hazel Lucy's meowmy had told my meowmy that is what would happen and had given Meowmy the email to do it. Pffffftttt. What next?

A very Happy St. Patrick's Day to all my furiends.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am back to my old self today. This has been a furry interesting week for me. It started a week ago for me. I decided on Friday (12th) that I was not eating much. This continued on both Saturday and Sunday. In fact, I did not come out to eat at all those days.

The first thing on Monday morning my meowmy called the doc doc and they told her to bring me in so they could see what was going on with me. Meowmy grabbed me up and placed me into the prison carrier and I began to wail as loudly as ol' Hooch does... maybe even louder. I bellowed the whole way. As Meowmy carried me outside, she told me that the neighbors would be looking out to see what siren was going off. I told her it was the Cassie siren. I made loud noises in the car and on my entry into the hospital. 

They weighed me first. I was 9.5. Then they took me back in the examining room. I had to be pried out of the prison carrier. I did NOT go willingly. My doc doc poked, prodded, squeezed, stuck things in places that were not intended to be probed and called for the vampires to come get me. All of my tests seemed within normal. My doc doc poked a stool softener in my mouth and sent Meowmy home with one to give me daily but, to my delight, I was sent home with Meowmy --- BUT she was told to have me isolated. NOOOOOOOOOO. I will miss my Kujo! She is my bestie and I think of her as my meowmy. I want Kujo! 

Meowmy placed me into the bathroom with food, water, my bed and a litterbox. I had my choice of two dry foods, canned food and baby food meat. I ate a little of the canned food. But I was not peeing much nor was I pooing. 

On Tuesday morning, I had given a little pee but no poo. This went on with the same story until yesterday morning. My meowmy had called with her Wednesday report and my doc doc told her that IF I did NOT poo by Thursday I would have to visit a girl named Ene Ma. Meowmy told me that I did not want to see Ene Ma but it seems that I just could not poo. 

Thursday morning I was on my way to meet Ene Ma. When I arrived, Sandy came in and weighed me, finding my weight to be 9.4,  and then Sandy took my prison carrier and ME back into the back. I was about to meet Ene Ma. I don't think I was prepared for this and I saw my meowmy leaving the building. I did not like this. 

I met Ene Ma and I did not like her. She did make me poo. I was so embarrassed that I tried to hide it by laying on it. I was a mess! My doc doc told the girls to wash me and clean me up. Then they called my meowmy to tell her that I had accomplished my mission and was ready to come home. 

Meowmy picked me up. I was so happy to see my meowmy. I talked the whole way home. While Dr. Booker told my meowmy that I could join the furmily again, she also told her that I may have a little Dia Rhea furiend for a while. So, Meowmy decided I would spend part of the day in the bathroom. It is a furry good thing she did because I did have an accident while in there. But last night, I was freed. Yay. I was delighted to be with my furmily again. 

This morning, I ate my breakfast and am having a good time with my furmily. 

I do have some stool softeners and my doc doc said that my meowmy could try putting 2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin mix in our food to see if this will help us. *whispers* Baby G has had to meet Ene Ma two times recently. So, we are all going to get pumpkin in our food. Meowmy is hoping we will like it.

I am off to play with Kujo... well, probably off to snuggle with her.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A special new furiend named  <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=510479&j=t">Snowflake</b></a> made his journey to the Bridge this afternoon. Snowflake had survived a serious surgery and was making progress, we thought. He took a turn for the worst yesterday. Actually, Wednesday, the vets noticed a decline and yesterday his heart rate was slow and his blood pressure was low. Today, he was even worse and his sad meowmy went to visit him, along with Auntie Barbi. His meowmy had to make the decision to allow him to go to the Bridge during the visit. Snowflake fought a very valiant battle to overcome his health issues. He was just so weak from everything he went through. Please keep Snowflake and his furmily in your purrs and prayers, especially his grieving meowmy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On December 31st, my sisfur <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=707896&j=t">Clawdette</b></a> and her handsome <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=764990&j=t">Tux</b></a> eloped to Mexico. They were wed in a beautifur sunset beach ceremony. I want to concatulate my sweet sisfur and to welcome Tux into our furmily.

Yesterday, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1036867&j=t">Serafina Tilly</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1048016&j=t">Mafia Princess</b></a> sent my furmily and me a purrty heart. They said, "We haven't been on much since mom got pregnant, but we wanted to say we love our friends!!! Love to all!!"  

I need to update on my human brofur Jim. He had a CT scan recently... before he went back to the lung specialist on December 23rd. Jim got both good and "iffy" news about his condition. The GOOD news is that the lungs are clear of the fungus! The "iffy" news is that he DOES have some scarring. We don't really know what that means for Jim down the road. His treatment with the antifungal will go on for another 6 or so months as the bone involvement takes much longer to cure. So, he is to return for another report on his progress with the fungus attacking his bones. He is still short winded but that may be the result of the scarring. The OTHER issue they found was that Jim has kidney stones waiting to "surprise" him and a cyst on his kidney that must be watched. Given the prognosis a few months back of terminal cancer, we are so very thankful and grateful to have gotten such wonderpur news about Jim. Thank you to effuryone who has prayed for my human brofur. Please continue to remember him in those purrs and prayers... but know he has come a long way into becoming more healthy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hooch has written in his diary about why we have been so quiet and I am borrowing some of his diary to start mine off. Meowmy says we have never been so far behind in our lives. We are hoping to get back to normal in 2010.

Our Christmas Day was furry full. Meowmy started the morning off with serving the delicious French Toast casserole to my brofur Jim and his girlfuriend Donna and to Jim's son Jimmy and his beautifur bride of two years... Amy. They had some very nice fellowship and a relaxed family moment before the "frenzy" began. After they had breakfast, Jimmy and Amy went home to prepare for the family Christmas gathering. Jim, Donna, my day and meowmy began preparing the delicious smelling food to take to Jimmy's. They baked ham and a turkey and would you believe that NONE of them would give us a bite. How rude. It smelled so delicious. Jim helped Meowmy and made the deviled egges. Meowmy says she doesn't know what he did but they were some of the best she has effur eaten. Meowmy put the potato salad together. Effurything smelled wonderpurr. 

It was a VERY rainy day. Actually miserable, according to my meowmy. When they got ready to head out to Jimmy's, they had to put plastic over all the pawresents and food. They had the car totally packed to the brim. My pawrents did not get home until night and Jim helped my meowmy get her router hooked back up so that they can use all the catputers... my dad has a dinosaur and slow one and Meowmy had a laptop, in addition to the main catputer. It seems that when our DSL went out.... I don't know what DSL is and Meowmy WON'T tell me... she always spells it. How rude! Anyway, when the DSL guy fixed our phone and DSL lines, Meowmy thought that maybe her router was still working but the ol' gal did not know how to get it back up and running. Thank goodness for her catputer guru son Jim. 

Speaking of Jim, I want to give a praise report on him. He had a CT scan recently... before he went back to the lung specialist. His appointment with the lung specialist was on December 23rd. Jim got both good and "iffy" news about his condition. The GOOD news is that the lungs are clear of the fungus! The "iffy" news is that he DOES have some scaring. We don't really know what that means for Jim down the road. His treatment with the antifungal will go on for another 6 or so months as the bone involvement takes much longer to cure. So, he is to return for another report on his progress with the fungus attacking his bones. He is still short winded but that may be the result of the scaring. The OTHER issue they found was that Jim has kidney stones waiting to "surprise" him and a cyst on his kidney that must be watched. Given the prognosis a few months back of terminal cancer, we are so very thankful and grateful to have gotten such wonderpur news about Jim. Thank you to effuryone who has prayed for my human brofur. Please continue to remember him in those purrs and prayers... but know he has come a long way into becoming more healthy.

My meowmy says she wants to apologize to effuryone who we have not contacted this Christmas season. She has been overwhelmed this whole year. In addition to the 12 of us kitties and 2 doggies, Meowmy has 5 grown children and 14 grandchildren. This keeps her time furry busy and shopping for the crew this year was really a job. We did not even decorate our home until a few days before Christmas and that was only minimal this year. We did not end up putting up a tree. Meowmy says she thinks it upset the whole furmily but next year she will do better.

Today, we got to open a package from Auntie Barbi, Cocoa and all the kitties. They gave us two bags full of mice, balls and catnip toys, Pounce treats, a stocking with Karisma's daddy Monte's picture inserted in it and a reindeer teaser. I can see Meowmy having fun with us on with it. Meowmy got a beautifur silver plated Christmas ornament from Auntie Barbi. It is a cute cat peeking out of a watering can. You can put a picture of one of us inside it. I wonder who will be chosen to go in the ornament?

I got behind, like Hooch, on my thank-yous for rosettes. 

On the 23rd, my sweet future sisfur-in-law <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=715647&j=t">Calamity</b></a> and her precious furmily sent me a Christmas stocking. They said, "We wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season with all our love and best wishes fur a PAWSOME NEW YEAR!!!! Calamity, Henry, Calia, Romeo and Kana"  
  
On the 23rd, my sweet <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> sent my furmily and me some sweet jingle bells. He said, "Happy Holidays Sweet Cassidy! I hope you and your Family have a great Christmas! Love You~ Rushy"  

I hope that all my special furiends and loved ones had a pawsome Christmas Day and will be blessed in 2010. Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I must tell you that all of us kits are MIFFED with our meowmy. She has been too busy to let us attend our diaries and pmails. Can you believe the nerve of her? She has been involved in stripping wallpaper. Then, she had to wash off the old glue and prepare the wall. There were cracks to patch, holes where pictures were hanging to fill, then sanding the wall to make it smooth enough to paint. Then came the painting. Meowmy did manage to grab some time online to tend the farms, hunt Hatchlings, decorate her Yo home and take care of  her cat "Cuddles" on Pet Society. I KNOW... none of those are REAL... HELLO, are we chopped liver? Well, now we know where we stand in her world! Pfffffffttttt. 

On the 22nd, my cute little sisfur <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=891551&j=t">Karisma</b></a> married the most handsome <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=780538&j=t">Mr. Lollycat McNoNo</b></a>. Their wedding was beautifur, in spite of all the last minute glitches.

The day before Thanksgiving, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=707783&j=t">Hooch</b></a> had to go back to the doc doc to be checked and that took a long time because they did blood work. At least, he didn't get a big bald spot this time. Meowmy asked them to only make a small place... so, you really don't notice it.

Then she and my dad were preparing the Thanksgiving food for most of the week of Thanksgiving. That really took most of their time... they shopped for the food, prepared it to be cooked and then had to do the cooking. We had a CROWD for Thanksgiving. There were 18 strangers in our home. Yikes.... we hid... actually, Meowmy locked us in different rooms to keep those strangers away from all of us. 

The day after Thanksgiving, my pawrents left early in the morning and went to one of the local malls in that madness called Black Friday. The crowds were out and about. They did NOT go to shop but to meet up with a dear furiend and his furmily who had driven down from High Point for the day. When I say the day, I mean the day. It was dark when my pawrents returned home and our dinner was LATE. This is not cool.

On Saturday, my pawrents left in the morning to go to the NC mountains (Saluda) for the day to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary of a family member. AGAIN, my pawrents were gone all day long and it was really LATE when they returned... well past dinner. Meowmy was even late by almost an hour giving Hooch his insulin. Even she was NOT a happy camper about that.

On Sunday, my pawrents went to the same mall to meet up with three of my dad's cousins who had driven in for the anniversary pawty. So, they spent another day at the mall and got home at dinner time. 

Yesterday, Meowmy spent the day playing catch up with too many things and guess what? She did NOT get caught up. But Hooch made her promise to attend to our needs first this morning... so she is attempting to do just that.

It will take us a while to get over our neglect! Pffffftttt!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I know who rates in our home. Ol' Hooch got to write about our trip to the doc doc's on the 16th of this month. I waited for my turn but meowmy did not find the time. So, she is letting me write about it now. Gee, thanks, I think. Did you know that Meowmy and I have been having twin eyes? Both of us have had very watery eyes. It is like a flood. In my case, it was found that there is fur missing beside my left eye and there is a "crack" in the skin and it is bleeding off and on. That was when my meowmy got really disturbed about my watering eyes. So, she decided to take me in the day Hooch went for his B12 shot. I decided to hide.

Meowmy had to move the sofa in the family room and fish me out from under it. In the beginning, my meowmy thought maybe I had caught something from her or vice versa because both having had runny eyes that started about the same time a month or so ago.

The substitute doc doc said it was totally unrelated. I had to have cells wiped from the area that was bleeding and the doc doc looked at the "stained" cells to see if she saw anything weird. She did not any "funky" cells as she called them and  she put me on Clavamox and on Bac/Neo/Polymix Opth. Meowmy had to chase me down twice a day for the Clavamox and three times a day to put the ointment in my eye. I was to go back to the doc doc on Wednesday, the 21st, for a recheck.  I weighed 9.7 pounds so my weight is staying basically the same.

Then, on the 21st, I had a recheck of my eyes. My meowmy had to capture me again... against my will, of course. She put me in the prison carrier and off we headed for my recheck. This time I got to see my doc doc. She said that while my eye was healing, it was still not completely healed and wanted to see me again in a week, which would be the 28th. My meowmy told her that was a no go because she has to have her eye fixed that day. They are doing a one snip procedure. We don't know what the proper name of the procedure is because all the doc doc she saw told her was that it would be done in the office. They will deaden it so she won't feel any pain but snip doesn't sound like fun to me or to Meowmy. So, they scheduled me for the 29th. 

So, yesterday when Patchez went back to the doc doc to be rechecked, my meowmy told them about her eye procedure and told them that she might cancel mine if her eye was hurting, they said for her to just bring me in today with Patchez. Gee thanks! So, I was taking my refreshing after breakfast nap on top of the cat condo when my meowmy grabbed me and put me in the prison carrier. I did NOT like that one bit and tried to spread my legs to where my meowmy could not shove me inside. It was useless because she won that game. 

The next thing I knew, here came Meowmy with Patchez in captivity, too. We headed out to see the doc doc. Patchez got lots more done to her. All I did was have my doc doc look at my eye and weigh me. I am up to 10 pounds and my eye looks almost well. My doc doc told my meowmy to keep putting the ointment on the outside for about a week and then about every three days from now on. She told Meowmy that my duct is not draining properly either. She also told Meowmy that my lower eyelid rolls slightly back and the hair may irritate my eyes. Do you think my meowmy gave me her illness? 

My heart still goes out to the furmily of our beloved furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=283044&j=t">Calvin</b></a>. We will miss his beautifur orange face on earth but the Bridge gained another very special angel. You are well now, sweet Calvin.

Yesterday, we did not go back on Catster after learning the sad, sad news about Calvin. My sweet and handsome <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> sent me some beautifur roses. He said,  "My Dear Sweet Cassidy, I am so sorry we haven't been around lately.Mom was overwhelmed by all our furriends crossing the Bridge.We had to take a break. I do love you! Yours furever~Rushy" Rushy, I think so many of us have had such heavy hearts in the loss of so many dear furiends this year. We are not as attentive as we should be either. Our hearts are heavy with saddness from all the losses.

11: 47 PM EST ~

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=433345&j=t">Sarge</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=433352&j=t">Lena</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=864599&j=t">Pepi</b></a> sent me a furever star. They said, "We think you're an awesome kitty and your family is special to recognize you as one. We're sorry for your early life and happy that you've found a great home."]]></content:encoded>

<b>Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, Oh, and shall we say, love.

The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.

His tail had long ago been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction.

"That's one UGLY cat!!"

All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave.

Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness.

Whenever he spied children, he would come running meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If ever someone picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbors huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.

Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear-

Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.

At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.

He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for. Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.</b>]]></content:encoded>

We are all in shock and just heartbroken since learning this very sad news. My furmily and I send Tyler and his grieving furmily our love and sympathy.

Tyler has always made us laugh. He was such a brave kitty and is one of the first kitties we loved from the get-go after we joined Catster. Tyler has faced his illness with such grace, dignity and humor throughout the whole time. 

Tyler will always be among our list of special heroes! The Rainbow Bridge gained a very special angel, indeed.

On Friday, as Hooch was preparing to write his diary, we learned the sad, sad news about Tyler and our typist had to gather herself enough to help Hooch write his own diary.]]></content:encoded>

		<title>A long day for my meowmy.</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My meowmy has been gone most of the day. She left, just after giving Hooch his insulin this morning, to be with my human brofur Jim who was having a FNA (fine needle aspiration) biopsy at the hospital. He was scheduled for 8:15 AM and that is Hooch's normal time to receive his insulin. So my dad went to pick up my brofur to take him to the hospital and my meowmy stayed behind to care for Hooch. She was afraid she would miss seeing my brofur before his biopsy... but hospitals being hospitals they were running behind and she got there before they took Jim back. The doctor talked to them about the major risks involved in these procedures. Those are bleeding, infection and collapsed lung. 

After his procedure, he was taken to a room but only one of my pawrents could visit him and that was my meowmy. They had some heart to heart talks. He was feeling okay after the ordeal but told my meowmy that, even though they numbed him, it felt like the doctor reached in and pinched his lung and twisted it really hard... but he said it was not unbearable.. just very uncomfortable. They checked his blood pressure every half hour and then at noon, they x-rayed his chest again to be sure that his lung had not collapsed or started to do so and then he was released AFTER they found a doctor to read the x-ray. Again... hospitals. He will go for the results on the 22nd and will find out what and IF they will be able to do anything. He has lost a lot of weight and only weighs 136 pounds now. Meowmy says he is furry gaunt looking. So, please pray for Jim.

My meowmy did not check her email yesterday and we missed a couple of very important things. 

We found out that <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=368565&j=t">Tyler</b></a> was found to have two masses which were to be removed today. Tyler needs our love and support and prayers so, please pray for good news on Tyler. You can read his diary for more news.

Our new furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=1008967&j=t">Mr. Biggles</b></a> did not receive good news. He has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We are praying that he can be kept comfortable and will have more years to enjoy his new family. Please pray for Mr. Biggles, too. He needs some major prayers.

Our furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=947825&j=t">Tallulah</b></a> got some bad news. She does have cancer and will need surgery. She will be going to a specialist on Wednesday. Please add Tallulah to your purr list.

The GOOD news is that <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=514218&j=t">Tony</b></a> IS okay. He had a spell like Karisma after he vomited. Tony and Karisma should go to time out for scaring their meowmies half to death with their antics after throwing up. Don't you agree? BUT please know that we are so happy that Tony is okay.

My meowmy said we will all be posting the same diaries today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I would like to wish all the dads and meowmies acting as dads out there in Catsterland a very Happy Father's Day!

My dad and meowmy went out to breakfast for Father's Day. And guess what they saw when they were getting into the car? Well, a turtle had come to say Happy Father's Day to my dad. It was sitting on the mulch pile beside our driveway. My goofy meowmy first thought that my dad had bought a yard ornament and put it on the mulch pile to be funny. No, just a turtle stopping by with Father's Day greetings. My meowmy took a picture of it. We hope it turns out so we can add it to our page for all to see the nice turtle who came for a visit.

I would like to ask my furiends to remember my brofur Hooch tomorrow as he goes for treatment for his hyperT at T4Paws. We hope this can resolve this problem for Hooch and that he will begin to feel much better and his weight and issues can become normal again. I love my brofur, even though he picks on me sometimes.

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=56398&j=t">Mercy</b></a> and her wonderpur furmily sent me a healing power of the paw.

Sorry we have not been doing a very good job of keeping up with our friends lately. Love, Mercy and family"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, finally I am allowed to paw a little on my diary. After spending all night shut up in the catputer room alone, this morning my meowmy opened the door to find that I had eaten most of my food and was anxiously awaiting my release from the room. I wandered out into the main part of the house and managed to make myself furry happy for a while. We have had human furmily in from Florida since Friday. They came in because 4 of our furmily members were graduating from high school on Saturday. They all graduated from the same high school so it was the BEST graduation that my meowmy has effur attended she told me... I think it was because 4 at 1 time. Yay, she said. 

Today, I spent in hiding from the 5 year old and 2 year old "terrors" who scare all us kitties. After they left late this afternoon, I came out. None of us ate while the little ones were around. So, tonight, my meowmy took Mojo, Baby G and me into the bathroom and fed us some of Baby G's food. We cleaned our plates. Meowmy says she hopes that I got my fair share of it. 

I hope I won't be shut in the catputer room again tonight. We shall see.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yay. They allowed me to come home this morning. My doc doc called my meowmy this morning and told her I was doing better but was not really interested in eating. She told my meowmy that she had to force feed me with a syringe. 

When my meowmy arrived, she came back into the hospital part where I was hiding in the back of the "cage". She took a couple of pictures of me and then went to get me out. I was so wet underneath. They said it was because of all the fluids I have had. So, they had to wash me and they put smell good spray on me. 

The doc doc gave me those BIG "horse" pills of Doxycycline. I have had mine for the day so I won't be tortured again until tomorrow with those. The doc doc told my meowmy that I will probably eat but if I don't that I should be okay until Monday because I had a big "forced" breakfast and kept it all down. 

Listed on my statement was in order - 1 hospitalize one night, 10 Doxycycline, 1 LA 200 injection, 1 fluids SQ, 1 Radiograph Additonal Views, 1 Radiograph 1st view, 1 Short Pan Diagnostic 142, 1 complete blood count, 1 9 chemistry panel (6 + lytes), 1 collect/dispose hazard specimien (huh?), 1 blood pressure, 1 urinalysis, 1 lipase, 1 T4 and 1 examination and diagnosis fee. Whew, they did a lot to me in such a short time. AND I have to go back after I have finished my Doxycycline. I DON'T want to go back. 
When my meowmy brought me in, she put me in the catputer room with Karisma (who just happened to be there) because she did not want my siblings to upset me by hissing because I smell funny. Then Sunflower came in to visit and she was nice to me but she threw up some foamy fluid... Meowmy said we had better NOT have another kitty getting sick. Enough is enough! 

Right now, I just came out from hiding under the loveseat in catputer room and Sunflower is washing me. Isn't that nice?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I am having to type this from the kitty hospital. My doc doc is at lunch... so Mary, the receptionist, is allowing me to paw my diary from their catputer. My yesterday was NOT a furry good one. I did not touch a bite of food all day long. Since my doc doc only works a half day on Thursday, my meowmy decided to call and schedule an appointment for me to come in today with my brofur Hooch when he gets his B12 shot. My doc doc leaves her staff there on Thursday afternoons but she takes the afternoon off to do needed things for herself. Well, pffffffftttt, I needed her but she was already gone. I did not act like myself at all. I spent lots of time hiding under things... away from effurything. Last night I cuddled with my best furiend Kujo.

This morning was a little different. I was interested in my food and ate about 1/3 of the serving. Within about 10 minutes, I was throwing up all that I had ingested. My dad saw me throw it up so there was NO doubt who had done it. I did not realize that I would be going to the doc doc with Hooch at the time.... but I did know enough to "hide" when Hooch's alarm cries went out. My meowmy had to move the big sofa in the den and pull me out from under it. Then she had the nerve to stuff me into the prison carrier. I gave ol' Hooch a run for his money in the "noise" department.

I was weighed when I arrived. I had lost a little since my last visit but not too much. I was 9.6 pounds today. Talk about insult... well, my body has been insulted. They did lots of tests on me and the vampires sucked my blood. What the????  The doc doc then insulted me by squeezing my bladder and causing me to "pee" on the stainless table. How dare she! Then the doc doc took a syringe and sucked up the piddle and had it taken in the back to examine it. Now why would she want to examine THAT?????? Hmmm. Humans have weird ideas. The doc doc heard sounds in my lung area so decided to do an xray. Doesn't she know I always make funny sounds? And not only that, I snore... rather loudly, if I might say so myself. The doc doc stuck a thermometer you-know-where. I KNOW! Does this woman not realize that I am being violated here? She said I had a high fever. And the doc doc said I have stomatitis. My meowmy was a little surprised to hear that mews. Other than stomatitis and the high fever, NOTHING showed up... the good mews is that my kidneys, liver, pancreas, lungs, "pee" are ALL normal! Yay.... but the doc doc said I am a little dehydrated and with the high fever of unknown origin, the doc doc is keeping me. WHAT?!?!?!?! I will be put on Doxyclycline for the "unknown" issues that could be causing my fever and will be receiving fluids. I know mymeowmy hated to leave me but Meowmy knows I need help right now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today with a heavy heart, we sadly had to say an earthly goodbye to a very dear and very sweet and very brave furiend named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=64970&j=t">Zack</b></a>. We have just learned about Zack as our pawrents had to go out of town for a wedding vow renewal ceremony for furiends and we could not get on the catputer. The first thing our meowmy did was check Catster where we learned that our very brave friend had lost his battle with cancer. He passed peacefully at home, in the arms of his meowmy. Zack, know that you will always live in our hearts and you have joined the special cats we hold in our hearts as heroes. You gave your furmily so much love and received the same from them. We don't know what to say except that our hearts feel like they have broken into pieces and we will always love you. We will look to the heavens nightly to see your special star shining brightly, dear and brave friend.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, so much for being furiendly and nice to my meowmy! I was in the bathroom this morning helping my meowmy. I was rubbing all against her and trying to coerce her into giving me a little more food for the morning. It was about 11 AM EST. Suddenly, she swooped down and picked me up and I went into my normal panic. I am furry sweet and furry loving but I like to do it totally on my terms. Meowmy carried me into the living room....... OH NO! The next thing I knew she put me into the prison carrier. I began to cry pitifully. Meowmy said such deep groans and moans. Then, she left me alone in there in the prison cage. Purrty soon, she came back with Mojo in her arms. She tried to put Mojo into the prison carrier but Mojo was having NO part of assisting Meowmy. Mojo became all arms and legs. Meowmy had to turn the prison carrier on end and shove Mojo into it head first and then she slammed the door. Boy, I am glad my entry into the prison carrier was not so extreme. Mojo began to do her cute little squeaks of disapproval. Meowmy took both of us out to the car and off to the doc doc we headed. Meowmy told us that we were just going for our Rabies shots. I DON'T want to be shot!!!!!! Please Meowmy, I will be good!

When we arrived, Mary, the receptionist, informed Meowmy that both of us would need our physicals too. YIKES and NOOOOOOOOO. I was weighed first. I weighed 10.5 pounds. The doc doc poked and prodded on me. She did inform my meowmy that I have tartar buildup on some of my teeth and they will need to clean them sometime in the future after we get Hooch through his issues. Mine is not critical but we do need to clean the teeth before next year. The doc doc jammed a needle in my rear... OUCH.... and then she tried to drown me with something she put in my nose. Cough, cough, sputter, sputter! That was not funny. 

Mojo was next in line and got the same treatment. What is it with these humans who like to torture us? Hooch told us after we got back home that we should count out lucky stars that the vampires weren't after us this time.

We had been home about 1/2 hour or so and my meowmy heard a noise like one of us throwing up. She was in the catputer room trying to get caught up. The first thing she was was me sitting near 4 piles of throw up. She looked at it and, since she saw dark hair in it, she thought that maybe I had thrown up because of the hair... and because I was beside it. She cleaned up the piles and went back into the catputer room. Mojo followed her into the catputer room. The nexe thing my meowmy knew Mojo was throwing up. This was mostly fluid. She threw up three times. Meowmy immediately called the doc doc back and was told to bring both of us back in... just in case both of us had possibly had a reaction to the Rabies shots. I have never had a problem but Mojo did some years ago. 

Meowmy loaded both of us back into the prison carriers and headed back to the doc doc's. They came in immediately and gave both Mojo and me a Benadryl injection to help prevent reactions to the Rabies injection. We are NOT really sure I was involved but, to be on the safe side, they decided to go ahead and treat me, too. 

The doc doc said she definitely wanted to keep Mojo for observation for a few hours this afternoon to keep check on her. They decided that I would have to be observed, too. I tell you, this is not fair at all. All I want is my Kujo because I adore her. 

Oh, I am pawing from the doc doc's right now because I am still being observed but they are not busy so Mary allowed me to paw the latest to all of you. Mojo will write in her diary when she and I come home.

I tell you, no more trusting Meowmy... well, not for a long time.]]></content:encoded>

We have just learned that our furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=665885&j=t">Tiskers</b></a> has been diagnosed today with HCM (Cardiomyopathy). We are in such shock. Tiskers' meowmy noticed he was breathing faster than normal and took him to the doc doc this morning about 11 to be checked out. The doc doc did blood work and x-rayed Tiskers. The x-rays revealed that there was fluid surrounding his lungs and sent Tiskers to a cardiologist where it was determined that Tiskers has Cardiomyopathy. Tiskers is the littermate (full blood brother) of <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=665884&j=t">Mittens</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=665886&j=t">Biscotti</b></a> and the half brother of <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366114&j=t">Snowmitts</b></a>. Please keep Tiskers and his furmily, especially his meowmy and daddy in your purrs and purr that Tiskers will feel better with his medicines and have many more years with us. Our hearts are hurting with our furiends and we are praying for the furmily.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy! Today is my 10th birthday! Whee! My meowmy told me that my celebration will be later because today is my brofur Hooch's day to get an ultrasound to see what can be found about his continuing health problems. Well, I told her that it was okay and that I understand completely. I know my meowmy loves me and, honestly, I would prefer not to do the cake and dress up part. MOL! I am just a happy girl to be alive and well! My furmily has told me Happy 10th Birthday already this morning so all is well in kittyland! Oh, and I have to say Happy Birthday to my meowmy, too! It is her birthday today! She says she won't have any candles on her cake!

9:00 AM EST ~

I just found out that my sisfur Baby G is a DDP today! Hazel Lucy wrote to concatulate my sisfur and that is how we learned that Baby G had received this diary honor. What a lovely treat to have both os us celebrating honors! I want to concatulate her. What a lovely day to be a DDP ~ on MY birthday! *giggles* Concats to my sweet sisfur!

11:30 PM EST ~

I must thank my brofur Hooch for saving me from the birthday pictures today. With all that was happening and my meowmy's birthday today, my meowmy just did not have the time to get to the bakery for my cake and for the pictures. THAT was purrfectly okay with me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had company yesterday. As you know, my brofur Hooch has been sick since February 18, when he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, with suspected other ailments. His best day since being diagnosed was Friday, March 6th. So, my meowmy decided that it would be fine for Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob (Angel <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">Picasso's</b></a> pawrents) to spend Saturday night with us. Before Hooch got sick, they had plans to either meet at I-95 and I-26 and have dinner - then  Hooch got sick and they decided to meet in Columbia, SC IF Hooch was well enough for my meowmy to feel comfortable leaving him for about 5 hours - then, when Hooch did better on Friday, they decided on Friday evening that it would be okay for Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob to come stay the night with us on Saturday night and have a nice visit!

My meowmy got up Saturday morning and washed the clean sheets... you heard me right... she washed clean sheets because she wanted them to be really fresh. Then she made the bed up. She is also kitty sitting and she had to go get the instructions on how to manage the alarm system in the home where she is kitty sitting. Then she came home and had to clean all our 12 litter boxes... a daily ritual because we expect to use only clean litter boxes! Then she scrubbed out the bathroom upstairs and went to the grocery store to pick up a few items and when she got home Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob were here. They sat around a chatted for a while and then decided they were hungry... so they went to a local Italian restaurant and had a nice dinner. After that, they all went to feed the kitties that my meowmy is watching for a week. 

When they came back from dinner, Auntie Barbi brought a package and we opened it. Guess what? Inside was a cool Kitty Tumbler and crinkle pad that will attach to a Cat Cube. Karisma hogged it immediately. And Auntie Barbi gave my meowmy a lovely soy candle that has the Sheer White Cotton fragrance. It smells so nice.

Now, Hooch was aware there was a <i>strange</i> man in our home. When it was time for bed, you won't believe what Hooch decided to do! He <i><b>hissed</i></b> at Unkie Rob. My meowmy was surprised at his behavior and so was my dad. Normally, he just stays out of sight if he is uncomfortable. Well, while I don't like to be picked up, I do come out and say "hello" to visitors. I will waddle in and out and check out the new faces.

Then, this morning, they got up and had some coffee and went out to breakfast. When they got back, Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob had to get on the road heading back to New Jersey. Hooch was well-behaved with Unkie Rob today BUT when my dad came in after saying good-bye to them, silly ol' Hooch hissed at him. He must have lost his kitty head for a moment. Hooch has not effur done this before. And I KNOW better!

11:30 PM EST ~

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=855526&j=t">Nelly Bell May</b></a> sent me a lovely heart. You see, our sweet furiend was named Cat of the Week in one of our favorite groups. We sent her a prezzie and she sent us a thnak you. She said, "Thank you so much for the hat Cassidy. I love it. It was a big surprise to named Cat of the Week . Thank you again. Love & Purr's, Nelly Bell May" She is so sweet!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *runs in* I am a DDP today. Yippee. Thank you to Catster HQ and the Diary Gal. This is so much fun. I am the shy one in my furmily and rarely get noticed... anywhere. I like to melt into the floor if noticed. You should see me at the doc doc. I melt into the examining table or floor. They laugh at my antics to disappear. They have to pry me up. Anyway, I am furry excited to have this diary honor and to share it with a pawsome furiend and Patchez' sisfur-in-law <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=649298&j=t">Odie</b></a> who has recently been diagnosed with stones and is helping to share information about this problem.

He collapsed on his side gasping for air with his neck extended, stopped breathing after choking on fluid and throwing up twice in a row. His meowmy was talking to <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">Picasso's</b></a> meowmy at the time. Sammy's meowmy dropped the phone and rushed him to the Emergency Pet Hospital, trying to get him there before his heart failed. When she arrived at the hospital, he was breathing very heavily and his mouth was open with his little tongue out. His chest congestion made it difficult for him to breathe. He was re-admitted to the hospital immediately and they put him back in the oxygen chamber and did another X-ray and gave him an injection to help clear the congestion from his chest and lungs. He will have more blood work done. His meowmy will find out this morning what to do next with her baby boy. PLEASE pray for Sammy to respond positively to the medicine and return to a more normal life again. Our purrs are with Sammy and his meowmy. 

Picasso's meowmy called me as soon as Sammy's meowmy told her he had collapsed and we worried and purred for Sammy and his meowmy. When Sammy's meowmy called back to tell Picasso's meowmy that Sammy was in oxygen and would be staying at the hospital, we felt a little relief. We were both so scared when Sammy collapsed. Our hearts are heavy right now but we are hopeful and praying Sammy will respond in a positive manner to his treatment.]]></content:encoded>

Simon's meowmy had to help him cross to the Rainbow Bridge about midnight. He was one of our first heroes on Catster. Simon came through several times and beat the odds but his body was tired and his precious meowmy Ali loved him enough to release him from his earthly battle and pain. Fly high Simon! We will look to the stars and sky to see you fly by as you do Bridge duties now. Godspeed, brave Simon. We will miss you. Simon, I hope you know that you were one of our first heroes on Catster.

My handsome <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> sent me a dozen red rosest. He said, "Happy Valentines Day to my sweet Cassidy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since January 22nd, our meowmy and dad have been gone from morning until late at night. My meowmy and dad have been moving my dad's unmarried 84 year old aunt into an assisted living facility. She had a FULL 2 bedroom apartment (she is a serious packrat) and Aunt Maggie has been in a rehab facility off and on for the past 6 months as a result of several operations and illnesses during the past 6 months... Since the 22nd when Aunt Maggie signed the papers to move, my meowmy has fallen so far behind that it is NOT funny. Meowmy says reducing all that "stuff" to 1 small room is awful. Most nights my pawrents have not gotten home until almost midnight! My pawrents are truly exhausted. My human aunt needed to be out of her apartment by the 1st but the apartment complex has been kind and will allow my pawrents a few extra days to totally clear it. And, they have had help with this move only periodically for a day or two at a time. Otherwise, it has just been them. It was a monumental undertaking. So, my manners seem to have gone out the door. I have been late in thanking my furiends for gifts and pmails and hope that I have not missed telling my furiends thank you! If I missed anyfur with thanks, please advise me. It is a true oversight and most unintentional.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ December has been a very sad month for us. We have lost three special furiends, one of them being my beloved brother <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">Picasso</b></a> who went to the Rainbow Bridge on the 8th. Then a furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=610165&j=t">Sir Sonny Bono</b></a> went to the Rainbow Bridge on the 17th. We weren't expecting to lose either of these precious loved ones. 

Yesterday, a precious 8th month old baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge. His name is <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=815234&j=t">Bagpuss</b></a>. He hasn't been on Catster too terribly long and is from the UK. He is the sweet brother of <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=434708&j=t">Alfiechinacat</b></a>. Alfie is the administrator of one of our favorite groups The Power of a Purr and Prayer. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to this furmily, especially to their meowmy Lyn. We haven't heard a definitive reason for his sudden illness which resulting in his having to go to the Bridge way too soon. It may have been FIP. We do know that he was loved dearly and will be deeply missed. 

Our hearts are hurting for all of those we have lost this year.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sadly, we learned this morning that our dear furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=610165&j=t">Sir Sonny Bono</b></a> had gone to the Rainbow Bridge about 9:30 AM. We had all purred for Sonny and hoped he would get better. Sonny has been one of our longest furiends on Catster and we will deeply miss him. Please remember his hurting furmily in your purrs. My meowmy talked with his meowmy last night and the pain was so great. His furmily did get to celebrate his Christmas with him yesterday so he got his Christmas before he made his journey. Know we love you, Sonny. That is and will be furever. We will miss you, sweet furiend.

And our dear furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">Picasso</b></a> will be making his journey home tonight. We are still in shock and grieving over losing our dear furiend Picasso. He will be furever in our hearts, too. Please remember his furmily. This day will be a sad one for them as they bring him home but it will also be a happy one because he is coming back home again.

And PLEASE say special purrs for <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=717339&j=t">Mama Kitty</b></a>. She is 16 years old and is not doing well at all. She could be nearing her final days. She is not responding to her medicines. Please purr for this precious furmily and for Mama Kitty to respond and rally. Mama Kitty and her furmily were, also, some of our first Catster furiends and we love each and effury single one of them and we love their meowmy, too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A sweet furiend named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=624959&j=t">Lil' Muppet</b></a> needs our help. She is in need of two surgeries to save her life and her meowmy can't afford it. We can all help out. The surgeries will cost around $5,000 and that is a lot of money for anyone today. The surgeries she will require on her ears are called a TECA (Total Ear Canal Ablation) & a Bullaosteotomy. They will remove her ear canals and seal them up. The Bullaosteotomy is the scraping of the Bulla, located behind the ear canal, to make sure no debri or infection is trapped in them before my ear canals are sealed up. There are some risks involved. The surgeries may leave her completely deaf and there is a possibility of permanent facial paralysis. Her surgeon promises her that this is very rare and only ever happened once with all of the TECA’s he’s performed. Please stop by her page for support and, if you can spare a little extra cash, there is an address where you may send money to help out. It is Catster approved. Let's rally behind Muppet to give her the chance at life she deserves. Please read her story on her page and help her out, if you are able.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=821893&j=t">Pumkin Pooh</b></a> on November 7th to play 7 special things about you.

Here is how it goes-

Name 7 special things about yourself, that should be easy. Pick out 7 furiends to tag. List them in your diary with their id #'s. Go tag them (by paw-mail) and direct them to your diary for rules and tell them to pass on the FUN. Tell them to list the rules in their diary just in case they tag someone who doesn't know how to play.

Here are my 7 facts:

1. I love my fiance Rushy.
2. I am the shiest cat in the house.
3. I LOVE Kujo. She is like my mother and I follow her around and like to sleep with her.
4. I don't like to be picked up. I curl into a ball.
5. I have depth perception problems.
6. I will walk around crying for no apparent reason sometimes.
7. I love to help my meowmy eat and often beg her for a bite.

As for tagging other kitties, I think I will not tag any this time. If any furiends would to play, please consider that yourself tagged. I had fun but I seem to have tagged so many of my furiends in the past that I will just answer this time. Thank you for selecting me to tag. *looks around for Kujo*]]></content:encoded>

We are in shock again with the loss of so many special furs in our lives. Here is the latest from Albie's page - 

Albie went to Rainbow Bridge today at 2.00 p.m. He had a cancerous tumour deep in his abdomen which was detected by x-rays. It was inoperable and treatment would not have been beneficial. Heaven has gained the sweetest angel. His meowmy is heartbroken and his brofur Alfie is desperately looking for him.

Please remember this precious furmily in your purrs.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't remember a sadder week on Catster for our furmily. Since the 24th, we have lost some beautifurr kitties. They have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Today, sadly, the latest news is that precious <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=632804&j=t">Kinsey</b></a> went to the Bridge during the night. Kinsey was preceded to the Bridge by <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=311709&j=t">Macallan</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=340870&j=t">Jazzi</b></a>. I know there are others on Catster who joined the angels at the Bridge and for those we say our sad purrs but these three were the ones we knew and are the ones for whom we are grieving. I purr that all the furmilies will be given the peace and comfort they need at this sad time in their lives.

Here is <b>KINSEY'S</b> diary entry today. I hope that she won't mind my using it to remember her. 

October 30th 2008 5:47 am

First of all I want to thank everyone for the pmails, purrs, prayers and rosettes. I'm overwhelmed with the outpouring of love from my friends here at catster! Mommy will try very hard to answer all of you.

I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. I knew mommy was having a difficult time deciding what course of action to take; surgery and/or chemotherapy was suggested by the vet, but he also said that the chances of me surviving or living much longer than a few months was minimal.

So, I chose for myself, so mommy wouldn't have to. During the night, I slipped quietly off to the rainbow bridge. I met my doggie brofur Corky for the first time! He is showing me around. :-)

Again, thank you so much friends. I had 12 wonderful years here on earth, and I wouldn't trade a second of it.

Love,
Kinsey, angel girl

Godspeed, sweet Kinsey.

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> sent me a purrty purple flower. He told me, "It has been a very,very sad week. Here is a pretty Flower to cheer you up Sweetie. I will love you Furever Cassidy" Thank you, sweet Rushy. It has been a very sad week indeed. I don't remember a sadder one since we joined Catster.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On the 24th, I got a collar from <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=403010&j=t">Bob</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=403016&j=t">Oakie</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=403028&j=t">Boo</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=449204&j=t">Willow</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=449352&j=t">Simba</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=449369&j=t">Sushi</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=516489&j=t">Buttons and Bow</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=522679&j=t">Sugar and Spice</b></a>. They said, "We may not be around much lately but we want to wish all of our friends a Happy Halloween." Wishing them all a Happy Halloween.

Also on the 24th, I got a collar from <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=545180&j=t">Rizza</b></a>, who said, "Hello beautiful girl. I am a friend of Alfie and Wally Angel and I love your page. You are very cute. My boycat is a big fluffy handsome boy just like yours. Here's a pretty collar for you. Love Rizza"

I haven't posted much since the 24th when a very special kitty was taken suddenly from us. His name is <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=311709&j=t">Macallan</b></a> and I want him to know how much we think of him. He is the COTD today. Please let him know you are thinking of him. After Mac went to the Bridge, my furmily has been furry sad. 

Then yesterday, a sweet and loving girl crossed the Bridge with the help of her loving pawrents. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=340870&j=t">Jazzi</b></a> is now whole and healthy again but we will all miss her. She is shining at the Bridge and sharing her love and sweet ways now. Her meowmy will furever miss her. The passing of this beautipurr girl has saddened us even more.]]></content:encoded>

She was 19 years and gave her meowmy many years of happiness and joy. Jazzi had recently lost her sight and was very scared and confused as a result of the sudden loss of her vision but she was adjusting to her new life. Early this morning, she was taken to emergency for oxygen assistance. It was found that she had fluid in her lungs. Jazzi was a strong trooper and a blessing to her family and she showed strength and courage throughout her illnesses. Please lift up this angel and her family, especially her meowmy, in your prayers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First, my meowmy has been furry busy changing furniture and moving it around - upstairs, downstairs, and out of the house. She has barely given me catputer time and I am falling way behind! Sometimes she allows this to happen to us. We have meowed at her about this but things happen. So, once again, I am behind on mentioning the nice things my furiends have done.

On the 15th, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=672967&j=t">Isis</b></a> sent my furmily and me a purrty purple flower (with a cute picture inside of it) of thanks. She said, "I want to thank Your Family so much for the Birthday present you sent.It just arrived today. The mail is terrible! *Giggle*" We did not send much but wanted to send sweet Isis a birthday remembrance from all of us. She is such a sweet girl. Boy, it takes a long time for gifts to arrive in Canada.

Today, my sweet and furry handsome <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> sent a pirate kitty to me. He said, "Ahoy my beautiful Pirate Wench!! My Mom can't believe how well some cats will pose for pics in real clothes! She put a dress on Isis and had to chase her! MOL!! Love You!!" *giggles when she sees Pirate Wench* I love it when my man gets all Pirate!

I got a Febreze collar on the 14th from  <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=714927&j=t">Kaabus</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=751856&j=t">Tarcin</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=751861&j=t">Biber</b></a>. They were saying that our furiendship means a lot to them. Aw.

On the 15th, I got a collar from <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=865884&j=t">Zany</b></a>. He is the new brofur of Luka. Zany was thanking us for the catastic welcome we gave him. He is a cutie.

<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=775983&j=t">Cinnamon</b></a> sent a collar on the 16th. She was thanking us for helping her celebrate her birthday. Cinni and her sisfur Reba have the same birthday.

And <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=775985&j=t">Reba</b></a> sent a collar also on the 16th. She, too, was thanking us for helping her celebrate her birthday.]]></content:encoded>

He has been doing okay since his diagnosis on the drugs they prescribed but has been slowing down some in recent weeks. It seems that Sunday night, little Boogie had a seizure. It scared his mom. He did recover quickly but there is need for many prayers for this sweet little guy. We love Boogie and his furmily so much and will be praying as hard as we can for him. I want him to know how precious he is to us and his whole furmily has our love and prayers, too. Please say extra prayers for our dear Boogie.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, August has proven to be the shock of our furmily's life. So many honors and birthdays fur my furmily. Our heads are all spinning with delight, surprise and a furry warm and fuzzy feeling. Thank you again, Catster HQ for bestowing the pawsome honor of a DDP on me today. I am in such wonderpurr company. First, my sweet future sisfur-in-law <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=777013&j=t">Pickles</b></a> was chosen as DOTD. Concats to you, sweet Pickles. Now, don't allow that to make you bossy to the adorable Tuffy. Other DDPs with me are <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=658452&j=t">Taillee</b></a>, who is a furry sweet furiend, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=135219&j=t">Diego</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=864839&j=t">Nicky</b></a>. Diego and Nicky are both handsome black and white furs. 

Other special events today are the birthdays of two furiends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Stray Cat

Oh, what unhappy twist of fate 
Has brought you homeless to my gate? 
The gate where once another stood 
To beg for shelter, warmth, and food 
For from that day I ceased to be 
The master of my destiny.

While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed 
And claimed the middle of my bed.

He ruled in arrogance and pride 
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh Cat, 
I’d willingly relive all that 
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well...don’t just stand there...Come on in!

...Francis Witham

Most of my furmily members were unwanted stray cats that our meowmy decided to take in and love. And, yes, when our beloved Clawdia, who was also a stray cat when my meowmy adopted her, died... well, it broke my meowmy's heart. She doesn't go a day without thinking of Clawdia and missing her. Meowmy says if she had the money to take in more, she would do just that.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Training your human is a thankless task.
"Why bother with it?", some kittens may ask.
The fate of the world is the issue at hand,
as felines worldwide stake a claim for their land.
Make no bones about it, we cats own the joint.
We spray in the corners to drive home the point.

Some say the meek shall inherit the Earth,
But they've no fangs or claws, for what that's worth.
The cat is the ultimate species, you see,
We're poised to usurp man's authority.
These silly old humans who cannot play nice!
We cats are peaceful, we hate only mice.

Just what does training your human entail?
A host of fun things you must do without fail:
The sofas and rugs need a little makeover.
The La-Z-Boy's target for kitty takeover.
Then sleep on clean towels placed in the guest bath.
And make their best clothing a target of wrath.

Tear down those new drapes with a quick forceful tug.
Then tatter the pile of the new Berber rug.
And when they are sleeping, you block off their nose,
paw at their lower lip, chew on their toes.
Strut on the mantle. If they give any flack,
knock down their trophies and all bric-a-brac.

Shed on mom's new velvet black evening gown,
as she's headed out for a night on the town.
If they leave you home all alone for the night,
(Any human doing this can't be all that bright),
They're telling you by leaving, it's perfectly all right,
To totally redecorate 'til dawn's early light.
Knock over tables and chew up the fern.
Hurry, go faster! Soon, they'll return...

When they try to punish, you mustn't show concern.
(All attempts of discipline a pussycat should spurn.)
A snide flick of tail will convey no remorse,
but they will try harder to scold you, of course!
So, hide in the closet until they forget,
and then launch out just like an F-14 jet.

Tear up their ankle, their forearm, their hand,
then when they've had all the pain they can stand,
dart from the room while they call 9-1-1,
and celebrate victory: The felines have won!
To humans, however, the battle's begun,
as they steep in their anger and wish for a gun.

Pathetic and lumbering and clumsy to boot,
My friend, human dominance is really a hoot.
Take charge in your home. It's destiny, meow.
(The verses above have already told how.)
So sleep for an hour, and then grab some chow,
And then train your human, beginning right now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here is how the game goes... <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=799706&j=t">Chloe</b></a> was asked the five questions below and she answered these questions and then she tagged five kitties. Now I will answer the same questions and tag five other kitties. If those kitties want to play they will do the same...

1) What is your favorite Olympic sport - We don't really watch them!

2) Do you prefer summer or winter - If I must choose, it would be winter.

3) What is the quirkiest thing you do? - Walk around the house meowing in a pitiful manner and no one knows who I am calling.

4) Do you have a crush on any other kitties? - Oh yes, more than a crush on my precious Rushy.

5) What is your favorite rosie or zealie, and why? I like any that are given to me or any I give to my friends because it says we care and support each other.

The 5 I tag are:

1. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=279001&j=t">Rasta</b></a>, a purrty 15 year old brown tabby lady.
2. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=433274&j=t">Pandora</b></a>, a 15 year old grey beauty.
3. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=608580&j=t">Brandy</b></a>, a beautipurr tabby and white girl.
4. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=629699&j=t">Oliver</b></a>, a hunky orange tabby fur.
5. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=847306&j=t">Calypso</b></a>, a beautifurr Mama cat with and adorable kitten.

My sisfurs <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=707822&j=t">Princess</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=707860&j=t">Precious</b></a> and dear angel <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=707853&j=t">Clawdia</b></a> were also tagged with the same tag (but not the same cat) so we are all tagging the 5 same cats.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Effurything is getting back to normal today. My pawrents returned last night from their trip to New Orleans. They had fun with my human sisfur and meowmy told me she got to meet Auntie Faye and my furiends <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=509717&j=t">Louis Armstrong</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=829375&j=t">Charmaine Neville</b></a>,  <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=653815&j=t">Pete Fountain</b></a>, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=509737&j=t">Emma Barrett</b></a> and <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=512353&j=t">Benny Grunch</b></a> on the day of their arrival, which was August 17th. 

Now I am so jealous! Meowmy told me she got to smooch the belly of Charmaine which has a paw print marking on it! Pffffttt! Why was meowmy smooching another cat? Well, actually, my meowmy said she only met Louis, Pete and Charmaine. It seems that Emma and Benny were in hiding and my pawrents weren't there long enough for them to feel comfortable enough to come out of their hiding places. 

Meowmy told me that Auntie Faye had a lovely lunch prepared for her and my dad. She provided a delicious taste of New Orleans treats and a delicious dessert for my pawrents. They were so surprised and loved the delicious food. That was so furry nice of Auntie Faye. 

Meowmy said that meeting her first Catster furmily was the highlight of her trip! 

I am just happy that my pawrents are back home. Now, I am back downstairs. While they were away, my pawrents put Kujo and me upstairs in the guest bedroom. I don't like change but I am so attached to my Kujo that I would have panicked without her. She goes upstairs because sometimes my siblings pick on her and meowmy doesn't like to leave her alone downstairs where my siblings can pick on her if they choose to do that. So, we always go upstairs and I get furry scared because I am not in my familiar spaces.

Yesterday I received a yummy shrimp from <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=799706&j=t">Chloe</b></a>. She tagged me! She said, "I am tagging you. Read my diary, and see if you wanna play. If not, here is a tasty shrimp to enjoy!!" Sure, I will play, Chloe but it may be a few days before I can play because my meowmy is playing catch up from her vacation and being away for days.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is with a sad spirit that I write. My furmily learned a short time ago that our furiend <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=241532&j=t">Notorious N.I.G.</b></a> (Niggie) will be making his journey to the Bridge at 5 PM EST tonight. He has been suffering from cancer and won't get better. Our hearts are very heavy and sad to say goodbye to our furiend. There is nothing more difficult than saying good-bye to a loved one and our love goes out to Niggie's family. His meowmy Missie is very sad and having a hard time about saying good-bye to her beloved baby but she knows he is suffering and won't get well and she loves her little man enough to say this temporary good-bye until they meet again. Sometimes there just are enough words or the proper ones to express our true feelings. This is one of those times. Until we meet again, sweet Niggie! Watch over us all tonight, sweet boy. We will miss you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My meowmy saw this posted on one of the groups to which we belong. She doesn't know the author but thought it was furry touching and wanted to share it. If anyfur knows who authored this, please let us know.

I'm in God's Backyard 

In God's back yard, the puppies play 
They're out there having fun all day........ 
In God's back yard, there is no pain 
No experiments or rain......... 

Each precious cat gets loving hugs 
And all the dogs get belly rubs...... 
There's millions there, both large and small 
In God's back yard, there's room for all... 

All dogs just bark with joy 
No crabby neighbors to annoy...... 
And every angel is a vet 
They can cure anything, I bet.... 

No, the dogs don't growl. The cats don't hiss 
For there's not one thing amiss.... 
All are happy, All are loved 
Somewhere in the skies above...... 

I hear there's no more suffering 
No loneliness or wandering.... 
No more need for them to roam 
For, at last, they all have homes....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My meowmy has a desk top calender and today's entry was furry appropriate she said. It read, "Cat lovers can readily be identified. Their clothes always look old and well used. Their sheets look like bath towels and their bath towels look like a collection of knitting mistakes." The name under the entry was Eric Gurney, so my meowmy assumed he is the one who gave the cute description. Can any fur pawrent identify with this?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wasn't it nice of Catster to given us  free gifties of a Febreze collar? It helps us to touch base with our furiends to let them know how much they mean to us and that we are thinking about them.  The collars are such a a purrty blue, too.

I was trying to thank each special furiend who sent me the furiendship Febreze collars in my diary but so many precious furiends have sent collars to me and to my furmily that my meowmy told me that no way could she continue to name each special furiend. Please understand that my meowmy IS the problem not me. I need her to type fur me so I have to just grin and do what my meowmy says. My meowmy just kept losing track of from whom I was receiving these pawsome collars. You know you just can't hire good help these days.

I would would really like to thank each of you fur the furiendship Febreze collars that you sent to me and want you to know how much it means to me to have such special and caring furiends. You are all furry special and I am so greatful to have such pawsome furs in my life. Thank you to all who cared enough to send these furiendship collars to me. I love all of you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, July 28th, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=532808&j=t">Minister Misty</b></a> shared this touching piece in The Power of a Purr and Prayer. I saw my meowmy having so much trouble fighting back tears and then losing that battle and crying very sad sobs. Here is what Minister Misty shared.

Dear Mom and Dad 

I died today. 
You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. 
I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. 
My collar was too dirty and too small, and the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge. 

Would I still be at home if I hadn’t chewed your shoe? 
I didn’t know what it was, but it was leather and it was on the floor. 
I was just playing. 
You forgot to get puppy toys. 

Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? 
Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed I had to go at all. 
There are books on obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door. 

Would I still be at home if I hadn’t brought fleas into the house? 
Without anti-flea medicine I couldn’t get them off me after you left me in the yard for days. 

Would I still be at home if I hadn’t barked? 
I was only saying, “I’m scared, I’m lonely, I’m here, I want to be your best friend”. 

Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? 
Hitting me didn’t make me learn how. 

Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach me manners? You didn’t pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent my time waiting for you to love me. 

I died today.! 
I miss you!]]></content:encoded>

My brofur Hooch's beautipurr fiancée <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=715647&j=t">Calamity</b></a> sent champagne glasses and a lovely note of concatulations and wishing in a toast "A lifetime of love and happiness furever!" 

Some of our besties <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">Picasso</b></a>, Cocoa, Kashmere, Japsurr, Aspen, Snowmitts, and Biscotti.  sent champagne glasses and told me they are so excited and happy that Rushy and I are now engaged and that we make a beautiful couple and they hope we will  be happy furever & ever. (And Cassi told me they knew about it the whole time.) Now, Cassi, couldn't you have given a girl a clue? Sheesh, I nearly died of excitement... and fainted... and.....

Thank you dear furiends for your special concats and good wishes for Rushy and me. I am the happiest girl on Catster today!]]></content:encoded>

My dad's birthday is today so my pawrents haven't been home. They were out all morning and had both lunch and dinner out. So, I have just found this beautiful ring and proposal from my darling Rushy. I am still in shock. *feels weezy and swoons* 

I must go to my cat bed fur a while. I think I shall faint. I will be dreaming of my wonderpurr Rushy and thinking about all of what our future holds. I am so happy! *faints*]]></content:encoded>

I was just trying to appease my meowmy so the ordeal of terror would soon be over for me. I try to behave always. Meowmy says I am the shy and furry well-behaved one of the group. Rushy brings out the best in me. I am one lucky girl to have found such a wonderpurr guy! I count him as one of my blessings.]]></content:encoded>

My pawrents got up early (4:30 am) today to take my human sisfur to the airport to fly back to Wichita. It has been so much fun having her here. My pawrents have not stopped since my sisfur arrived. They celebrated lots of birthdays. It seemed that they were constantly on the go or having people over. It has been a furry short week with my sisfur and we want her to come back soon for a longer visit. There just was not enough time to do effurything they wanted to do. I will miss my sisfur!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=697765&j=t">Chantilly Lace &#9829; )O( </b></a> posted this on Calico & Tortie Darlings, which is one of my groups. Thank you for the posting! My meowmy's eyes leaked furry badly!

A Pets Ten Commandments

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful. 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 

4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments, but I have only you. 

5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice. 

6. Be aware that however you treat me, good or bad, I will never forget it. 

7. Before you hit me, before you yell at me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet I choose not to bite you. 

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak. 

9. Please take care of me when I grow old or become sick. No matter how you feel, I’ll be there for you. 

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My human sisfur arrived on July 17th for a visit. She will be here fur a week. We don't get to see her often enough because she lives in Wichita, KS which is a long way from us. Meowmy says takes us 20 hours to drive to Wichita from our home. And my meowmy does't fly! Yikes, in a car fur 20 hours! 

I got two furry sweet rosettes the day my sisfur arrived but haven't had time to acknowledge them. 

First, I got a lovely heart rosette from my brofur Hooch's fiancée <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=715647&j=t">Calamity</b></a>. She was thanking each one of us individually for helping her celebrate. She recently turned 3 and we wanted to celebrate with her so we sent her rosettes. She is such a purrty and sweet girl. 

And I got a sweet heart rosette from my wonderpurr boyfuriend &#9829;<b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a>&#9829;. He just wanted to let me know he was thinking of me and that he has been getting in trouble for scrapping with Simba and bugging Missy, his siblings. *makes a sad face* I don't want my sweet Rushy to be in trouble. He is my guy! How I love that fellow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you remember my great cat nephew <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=788803&j=t">Boots</b></a> who recently suffered from a big scare with kidney failure as the result of accidently ingesting some liquid from an Advil gel capsule, you will be furry pleased to know that his visit to the doc doc gave furry good news. He will be okay with care and special food. 

Well, they have a new kitty brofur named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=811819&j=t">Simba</b></a>. Simba is really not new to us as my meowmy and Boots' dad were there when Simba was rescued from the pound when he was about 6 weeks of age. My meowmy's furiend adopted Simba originally. Unfortunately, his meowmy got furry sick and had to go to a nursing home as the result of too many seizures causing health and mental issues. Her husband is much older than she is and has recently cracked his back and is not in good health and is trying to find good homes for all of Simba's other siblings. They are older cats, for the most part, and this will be a tough job. My meowmy is trying to help him find them good homes. She is furry happy that Simba will have a good home. My meowmy has always had a love for Simba. She was there when he was adopted and went when he was neutered, too. She feels like he is a part of our furmily]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, my typist has been lazy. On July 1st, I sent my wonderpurr <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> a Canadian flag to help him celebrate Canada Day. Rushy is Canadian and a furry cute one, at that. I just had to help him celebrate because I care. Well, being the sweet and wonderpurr fellow that he is, he sent me a delicious slice of watermelon to enjoy and to thank me. I wanted to write him immediately to thank him and to tell him how delicious it was. Could my typist help me? NO! She told me she had to paint the trim in our house. What? Not help? How dare she tell me no. But, alas, she did. She painted until it was nighttime and then she and my dad had a late dinner. Did she bother to help me then? NO. So yesterday morning (the 2nd), I heard her get up at 5 am and I thought she would help me type to my sweet Rushy. NO, it did not happen. She and my dad left and were gone most of the day. She gave me some excuse about having to take her cousin to the hospital for an outpatient procedure and it took the greater part of the day. Again, I did not get to write Rushy. What is with that? I did hear her talk on the phone when she was here. So, here's my thinking... if she can talk on the phone, why can't she help me type? She gave me some poor excuse about she can talk and use her hands for other things but when she types for me, she can't get anything else done. I can't believe she had the nerve to tell me that!

Then today, <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=692014&j=t">wanda</b></a>, Norman, Tess, Rupert, Mitchell, Beckie, Fay, Princess, Harvey, Bess, Lewis, Einstein, Mama Kitty, Lilly, Blackie, Patti, Nikki, Frankie, Marie, Sunni, Roxanne, Rosie, Bob, Jesse and Freddie sent me a flag to help me celebrate the 4th of July! We love this furmily and thank each one for the special wishes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by a beautifurr cat wearing a lovely hat named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=689274&j=t">Missy</b></a>.

I need to tell six things I DON'T like, and then tag six other kitties to do the same. Be sure to notify your furbulous furiends that they have been tagged!!!

6 things I like are.......

1. I don't like going to the vet!

2. I don't like being picked up by anyone. I roll into a ball when that happens.

3. I don't like it when my siblings pick on me. I don't fight back.

4. I visitors at first. I have to size things up and then I generally come out so I can see them and vice versa!

5. I don't like any loud noises. I run to get out of the way when I hear them. 

6. I don't like having my nails trimmed. I am very timid but I am the best one of my furmily when that has to happen.

Here are the 6 furiends I have chosen to tagto tell what they don't like!

1. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=318066&j=t">Tuffy</b></a>, my sisfur Mojo's special fellow. 
2. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=777013&j=t">Pickles</b></a>. who is the sisfur of Tuffy.
3. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=539616&j=t">Squirrel</b></a>, an expert mouser.
4. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=715647&j=t">Calamity</b></a>, the love of my brofur Hooch's life.
5. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=420729&j=t">Kalli</b></a>, a purrty calico.
6. <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=717265&j=t">Harvey</b></a>, a furry dashing and handsome black cat.

Have fun!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I suppose most of you are aware that I found the most wonderpurr fellow named <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=674168&j=t">Rushy</b></a> and he has asked me if I will be his girl. Well, who wouldn't want to be girlfriend of the handsome Rushy? How lucky am I? Our dear furiends Biscotti, Picasso, Snowmitts, Aspin, Jaspurr, Cocoa and Kashmere sent a sweet heart telling us what a good looking couple we make and how happy they are for us. They told us that they love us both. And we definitely love them!

And my special and thoughtful Rushy sent me a bluebird and a butterfly. He is so thoughtful. He sent the bluebird because he was thinking of me. The second gift of the butterfly was of a more serious nature. Rushy was telling me that he was praying for my great cat nephew Boots and that his Mawmee had posted about Boots in PAWS. It means so much to have such wonderpurr and caring cats and humans in our lives. Lots of love to you Rushy.

I also got a rose from Rushy and he has created a picture of us together. I have it on my page now and it is purrfect! What a sweet boyfuriend I have found in Rushy. 

For any who haven't heard, my great cat nephew <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=788803&j=t">Boots</b></a> was playing at his home on Sunday. Sometime between 10:30 am and 8:30 pm, he found a little colorful ball that he found on the floor and he decided to play with it. What he did not know is that it was a gel Advil capsule full of what is poison to us cats. He bit into the capsule during his playful attempts with the little ball. After his pawrents got in that night, they found where some cat had thrown up in the kitchen and also upstairs in the bedroom. Since they have two cats (Boots and Fluff) they had no idea of which cat had thrown up. But his pawrents did find the partially deflated Advil gel capsule, however, so they knew what had probably caused the sickness. 

His pawrents called the vet the next day. The doctor said that he was probably okay if he kept his breakfast and dinner down which he did. Now, remember that his pawrents still did not know which cat had gotten sick at this point. The vet told his pawrents to keep Boots and Fluff in different rooms for 48 hours so they both went to their appointed bathrooms. During the next 48 hours, both Boots and Fluff acted alright. 

On Wednesday morning, it was discovered that it was Boots who was the sick one. He was not feeling well and was not interested in his food and had thrown up fluid. So, now they knew which cat had gotten into the Advil. His pawrents called the vet and she told them to bring him right in, which they did. After doing his blood panels, the vet found Boots was in severe kidney failure and they were given no guarantee as to whether he would pull through this illness. They started an IV and put a collar on poor Boots and were about to put the catheter and pump on him when my meowmy rushed over to see him because my pawrents had a trip they had to take. The vet let my meowmy hold Boots for a while until his pawrents could come back. While Meowmy was holding Boots, the vet said they needed to give him a shot for nausea. Boy, did he scream according to Meowmy. The vet told her it burned and was not pleasant for him. His pawrents arrived and held him for a while and then they put him in his cube so urgent treatment could begin. 

When his pawrents took him in on Wednesday, his levels were my levels were at 98 but were supposed to be between 16 and 32. This was not good. Sometime during his first night at the hospital, Boots somehow managed to get his IV out... that big plastic collar did not stop him. 

On Thursday morning, despite Boots efforts to get the tubes out, his levels dropped almost twenty points to 74. The vet said that was furry encouraging but would not committ as to whether he would or could make it or not. She said it would depend on his next levels which would be taken on Friday morning. They had to put the tubes back in but because his veins kept blowing out, they had to use his rear leg. So, now Boots has three shaved legs and a shaved neck. 

We did not know what to expect this morning (Friday) but we knew it was critical. Imagine our surprise that Boots' levels had come down from 74 the day before to 18 (normal is between 16 and 32). His pawrents were furry nervous because the little rascal had again pulled out his IV. He IS a determined little fellow. When the vet came out and told them to "Take him home!" they could not believe their ears. 

His pawrents had to go to work so they called my meowmy to see if she could pick him up and take him to his home. She did and she said he was so happy to be at his home. He and Fluff played and played and Boots was begging for food. We are all so happy he is doing well. 

He will always have damaged kidneys and will be on K/D food for the rest of his life but the vet expects it to be a normal life. Boots has to go back in several weeks for another blood panel to see where his levels are then... IF he has not problems before that time. We all feel furry blessed to have Boots back with us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am furry late in mentioning the beautiful rosettes I have received recently and have not publically acknowledged them. I have appreciated them so furry much, however. 

On June 2, I got a heart of furiendship from my dear furiends <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=692014&j=t">wanda</b></a>, Norman, Tess, Rupert, Mitchell, Beckie, Fay, Princess, Harvey, Bess, Lewis, Einstein, Mama Kitty, Lilly, Blackie, Patti, Nikki, Frankie, Marie, Sunni, Roxanne, Rosie, Bob, Jesse, Freddie and Babes from Texas. We have not been in touch as often lately and they were touching base. How furry sweet of them. 

On June 3, I got a furry nice flag from my furiend Tigger. Tigger was wishing me a Happy Flag Day early. Flag Day is the 14th of June. That was furry sweet of Tigger.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Does Your Cat Fit His or Her *Sign*?

The Pisces Cat 19 February - 20 March

The Pisces Cat is a kind and loving cat, even around water. They are caring and giving cats, willing to share a toy, a lap or a bird brought in from the yard. Because of their selfless nature they come when they are called, hoping for a treat, but happy with some strokes along the back. Change never upsets them and they adapt to whatever their owner wants. They also enjoy quiet time, comfortable with themselves and content with their lives. The Pisces cat is willing to take anything that comes along, especially is it tastes like salmon. 

While I am the most timid cat in the furmily, my meowmy tells me that I am the sweetest and easiest to get along with effuryone and effurything. I do like my quiet and private times, too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, I climbed into my dad's pants while he was on, well, er... you know! He called Meowmy to bring the camera. I am such a shy girl most of the time. Well, it just looked so comfy in there and I have heard Patchez chat about climbing in there in the past. So, I just decided to test it out for myself. You know, it was furry comfy and I got lots of head rubs. I may just try that again one day soon!

I was tired out from all the celebrating that Clawdette was doing. It was her 4th birthday! You know, a kitty can only have so much celebrating and then we need to rest and catch some zzzzz's. Unfortunately, dad wasn't sitting there long enough for me to go to sleep.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I turn 9 years old today. I am furry excited. I know I will get some special treats and extra loving today! Yesterday our house was all about dumb ol' doggie Hunter cuz he had to get something called an operation. You would have thought that none of us existed! Pffffttt! BUT today IS my "special" day. I can't wait to see what my pawrents have gotten me. And, you know what, today is my meowmy's birthday, too. Hey, maybe us girls can go out together? No, I would be terrified and my meowmy loves me too much to do that unless it is needed... BUT I know I will get something special. Wonder what it will be?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't stop sneezing. Remember when meowmy took me for a suprising (to me) visit to the doc doc last week? As if that wasn't bad enough by itself, I now am sneezing a lot. The doc doc said that could be a side effect from nasal vaccine I got. Does the doc doc and meowmy not KNOW that I stumble enough under normal conditions? Let me tell you, when I have my sneezing fits, I now stumble or fall over. I hope that my meowmy is very happy with herself. I hope this ends soon as I am tired of sneezing.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, today meowmy surprised me by taking me to the doc doc for my yearly physical. She had the nerve to put me in the dreaded carrier and to put us in the car and off we went. Well, I showed her just how loud I could meow. She said thank goodness the doc doc is only five minutes from our house. Then, when we got there, meowmy proceeded to ask me to come out of the carrier. Has she lost it? NO WAY! Then, to my horror,  she turned my carrier over where I practically fell out. How dare she!! I did show her AGAIN. I plastered myself on the cold silver examining table so that the doc doc would need a scraper to get me up. But to my dismay, the doc doc brought in her reinforcement to help. The "other" one grabbed me by the scruff of the neck (like my birth mom) and raised me so the doc doc could listen to my heart. I hope that it deafened her... pfffttt. Then the doc doc invaded all my "open" spaces and then squirted some gosh awful stuff in my nose. She said it was my three year distemper and yearly bordetella... yeah, right... she probably secretly poisoned me... at least, I acted like she had. Then because of my spacial problems, my meowmy put me on the floor so the doc doc could see me walk. They probably wanted to snicker at my unsteady ways. Finally, meowmy took pity on me and scooped me up and hugged me and put me back in the carrier to bring me home. I did not scream all the way home because I was glad to be heading back to safety. However, meowmy had better watch her back the rest of the day.]]></content:encoded>
